nal Unless you've taken lockdown to the extent of switching off all possible forms of communication and technology, then you'll have noticed that there was the small matter of an FA Cup final on Saturday afternoon. It was Arsenal who had the last laugh of this domestic campaign, beating Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley stadium to lift their 487th FA Cup title. It was a memorable final, full of drama, goals... and shocking defending. Fortunately, you guys on Twitter didn't miss a beat from the off, and...

ain) The most frustrating and mind-boggling people are often those who live in denial. They spend their days in a dream world, ignoring the massive flaws in their life, their relationships, their personality, and choose to push on and put all the advice you offer in the bin. Chelsea are the footballing equivalent of this nightmare of a human. Chelsea players look dejected at the final whistle The Blues are wonderfully entertaining, brilliant on the ball and swashbuckling on the offensive. But...

Eddie Howe is set to leave Bournemouth by mutual consent, after suffering relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2019/20 season. The 42-year-old is a legend at the Vitality stadium, making over 200 appearances as a player, before taking charge as coach and propelling the south-coast side from League One to the English top flight in 2015. Eddie Howe couldn't prevent Bournemouth from slipping to relegation Bournemouth have enjoyed the past five seasons in the Premier League, and...

Chris Smalling is expected to return to Manchester United after AS Roma's final Serie A game of the 2019/20 season this weekend, according to reports in Italy. The 30-year-old has made 36 appearances for the club since joining on a season-long loan in August and has impressed under Paulo Fonseca with his commanding displays at the back. As a result, the capital side have been in talks with the Red Devils over a permanent transfer, with the Portuguese coach saying in February that he would 'do...

Manchester City are keen to offer young centre-back Eric Garcia a new contract amid transfer interest from former club Barcelona. 19-year-old Garcia, who joined City from Barça's famed La Masia youth academy in 2017, made his Premier League debut this season and featured in 19 games in all competitions in 2019/20. After an impressive breakthrough campaign, Barcelona have been linked with a move to re-sign their former starlet, whose contract expires in 2022. Garcia battles with Watford's Troy...

Love him or hate him, Paul Pogba is a truly gifted footballer, and one of the most high profile names in the game. While it's hard to imagine, before he was this big name superstar, a time before he was despised by Graeme Souness (hard to imagine that, isn't it) he was simply just Paul Pogba - a young man among many other stars in Manchester United's famed academy. To make him sound even more ordinary, he wasn't even the best player in the academy - with the now infamous Ravel Morrison the...

Paris Saint-Germain have joined Liverpool in the race to sign want-away Bayern star Thiago Alcantara this summer. The Spanish midfielder was close to putting pen to paper on a new contract with the Bavarian giants in June, but opted against extending his stay in Munich - alerting the attention of several European heavyweights. Thiago has been a star performer for Bayern over a number of seasons Liverpool's interest in the 29-year-old has been well-documented, but they are not alone in their...

Barcelona star Samuel Umtiti is unwilling to leave Camp Nou this summer and wants to fight for his place in the team, despite the Frenchman supposedly being offered to other clubs in the transfer window. The 26-year-old was once an integral part of the Blaugrana defence, but a string of injuries over the past two years have seen his value diminish. He has subsequently lost his place in the first team to national compatriot Clement Lenglet. Barça are looking to significantly reduce their wage...

Everton are targeting Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilon to bolster their options at left back, and reportedly lead the chase for the defender after putting in an £18m bid. The Toffees are in the market for a new left back following the retirement of stalwart Leighton Baines at the end of the 2019/20 campaign. Reguilon is being targeted as a replacement for Baines Lucas Digne is currently the only recognisable senior left back remaining at Goodison Park, and Everton have set their sights on...

How do you improve a team that won the most competitive top-flight league in the world (supposedly) by 18 points? More specifically, how do you improve a defence the conceded just 33 goals all season - over a third of which came when most of the players were suffering from a post-Premier League title hangover? These are two questions that champions Liverpool will be seeking to answer in the upcoming transfer window and according to reports they are going to have to exercise significant...

Relegation from the top flight is a sobering experience. Not only do you swap Old Trafford for Deepdale and Gary Lineker for Colin Murray, you're usually forced to wave goodbye to anybody who was ever half-decent and watch on enviously as your ex-stars continue to do the business in the top flight while your side limps to a draw with Barnsley. Raiding relegated sides for their prized assets is often met with a varying degrees of success. Roberto Martinez re-signed half of his relegated Wigan...

Exclusive - Liverpool have contacted Schalke about defender Ozan Kabak, as they look to reinforce their backline ahead of their 2020/21 Premier League title defence. The Reds won their first top flight title for 30 years during the 2019/20 campaign, but will go about retaining their crown with a shortage of central defensive options after Dejan Lovren departed the club for Zenit St Petersburg. Kabak could offer Jurgen Klopp another defensive option next season Due to the financial constraints...

Frank Lampard is the epitome of what it means to be a Blues legend. He became Chelsea’s all-time leading goalscorer, made the fourth-most appearances and won a stunning 13 trophies in 13 years at Stamford Bridge. Now back as a head coach, it is no surprise he is worshipped in west London. Whether it be his place on banners and walls around the Bridge, the familiar sound of his name being sung or just his status as one of the club’s greatest ever players, Lampard is a loved man in SW6. While...

mer Everton's rollercoaster of a season is finally over, after a terrible start Marco Silva was sacked and replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. They ended up finishing 12th but Ancelotti will have much higher hopes for next year, and will be expecting to push for European football. Here's a look at every first-team player at Goodison Park and whether they should stay or go this summer... Goalkeepers England's number 1 has had a wobbly season to say the least.

Arsenal take on Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday afternoon - a competition in which both of the two competing clubs and managers have a proud history. Mikel Arteta and Frank Lampard both enjoyed considerable success in the FA Cup as players, with the former tasting victory at Wembley on two occasions, and the latter hoisting the famous trophy aloft four times. With victory on Saturday, one of Arteta or Lampard will join a select group of individuals who have won the same trophy as both...

mmer Though it may have ended with gut wrenching anti-climax, just missing out on Champions League qualification on the final day, Leicester's fifth-placed finish this season should still be viewed as a triumph overall. Prior to the New Year, the Foxes were playing some scintillating football under Brendan Rodgers and even put NINE goals past Southampton back in October. Despite all their early season promise, a season of Thursday night football awaits Leicester in the Europa League begins next...

Leeds United are interested in a summer transfer for young Liverpool defender Yasser Larouci as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of their much-anticipated Premier League return. The 19-year-old left-back, signed for the Reds from Le Havre back in 2017, has only ever made two senior appearances for the Premier League winners - both in the FA Cup last season. However, despite his lack of game time, the Algerian starlet is highly rated at Anfield and has been a mainstay of the club's...

Former West Ham youngster Jeremy Ngakia looks set to join Watford, after leaving the club on a free transfer in June. The academy product, 19, turned down a new long-term deal and rejected an extension until the end of the season following the restart. Now he is in talks with the recently-relegated Hornets. Ngakia didn't want to stay at West Ham. West Ham had a difficult season this year - escaping relegation by just five points - but one of the few highlights was the exciting emergence of...
